Hello Faith North Community,

What do cows do on Friday nights? They go to the mooooovies! Luca age 5, has arrived at the sensitive period for word play. I remember vividly when my own now teen son was this age. In the evenings at bath time, I would sit in the comfy chair that was tub side and pull some well used joke books from beneath the cushions and we would spend the next 30 minutes dissolving in laughter. Typically our session would end with him experimenting with his own jokes that were not so funny----but very precious.

This week we had our second Boo Hoo breakfast. We consoled and assured some crying mom's that this too would pass and that the children would move through this process to independence faster than they probably would. Thank you to the veteran parents who attended to make friends with some of our new families.

We also had our first Site Council and PTA meeting on our Shaw campus. It was a great turnout with some new faces. It promises to be a busy and productive year with both groups. Our next meeting will be on the main campus on Wednesday, September 7th.

Last night we had a huge turn out for an informational meeting on the upper elementary trip end of year to Washington DC. We discussed logistics, cost, accommodations, transportation, planning, fundraising and saw a beautiful power point presentation produced by the 6th years. The students will be planning and fund raising for most of the year. The trip is scheduled to take place the first week of May.

All the best,
Susan Engdall
